It's much more of a sequel than it is a port. The gameplay is still similar but is done in a more streamlined, intuitive way on the X-Box. Kinda like how when Ion Storm ported Deus Ex over to the PS2 they had to change the entire interface to work with the PS2 controller, and what happened was that they came up with an interface and control scheme so perfect and intuitive that they decided to use a very similar one for DX 2 (both the X-Box and PC versions). Sometimes limitations are a good thing because it forces developers to come up with innovative ideas. In the case of Deus Ex and Crimson Skies, it worked wonderfully.
